my laptop crashed and i pulled the HDD out and connected via usb to my new laptop, but im getting nothing.
it registers as a usb disk drive in device manager, but nothing in “my copmuter” in disk manager, it shows as disk 1, but syas it needs to be initialized, but when i try that it says “device not ready”.
in diskpart, it shows as disk 1, but when i try to create a primary partition, it says “device not ready”.
im just looking for other possibilities on how to fix it. i know, at this point, its kind of a long shot unless im willing to fork out money to have it professionally fixed, which im not.
thanks, yall
usb HDD is hitachi travelstar
laptop is running Windows 7
usb connector has external power supply
